I like operations, but spending my life adjusting Kadee couplers to
allow delicate switching operations is more than I wish to undertake.
It's enough work just maintaining what I got. Thought about doing
DCC on this layout to run three or four trains, in constant
succession, and while tempting, my experience with DCC is that
is it is buggy and not terribly reliable, though many will say I am
full of baloney. But, I can only speak from experience.

So my compromise is to run 2 DC tracks, electrically isolated, that
engages the operator(s) to maintain movement, but not collide.
Fortunately, the buffer beams provide good protection from the
occasional collision. Take your eyes off what you are doing for
an instant and a collision is guaranteed.

Here, some British trains race to maintain their schedules in the
age of the Corona Virus.

Great video, Chops! Lol...the Super Fly at the end looks like a terror.
